Welcome to Jalopnik’s weekly How to Watch racing television and streaming guide, where we catch you up on the recent events of the racing world and let you know how to watch all the major events of the upcoming weekend. Formula 1 is headed to a new-look Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the Spanish Grand Prix. IndyCar returns to downtown Detroit as the city’s race leaves Belle Isle. NASCAR visits World Wide Technology Raceway outside of St. Louis, and Formula E has a doubleheader in Jakarta, Indonesia.
F1’s Spanish Grand Prix
First we head to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as the F1 circus arrives there this weekend. The third sector chicane has been removed after 15 years of use, meaning faster speeds through the sweeping final corner. Spaniard Fernando Alonso will be hoping to continue his run of success with Aston Martin this season. Last weekend, the two-time F1 champion had to settle for second place at the Monaco Grand Prix after a botched tire strategy decision.

NASCAR’s Enjoy Illinois 300
The NASCAR Cup Series returns to World Wide Technology Raceway after its debut on the schedule last year. Penske will be looking to maintain its winning form after Ryan Blaney won the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend and Joey Logano took home a victory in the inaugural event last year. The competition will be a bit thinner with Chase Elliott suspended for intentionally wrecking Denny Hamlin in Charlotte.
